Embodiment 1

[0021] There are many modem manufacturers, and since each model has its own characteristics, it is necessary to develop a driver suitable for the model to play the product function. In order to embed the driver program in the modem, in practice, a storage device of a standard specification can be configured in the modem, such as a USB (Universal Serial Bus) mass storage class (Mass Storage Class, hereinafter referred to as MSC) specification, And store the driver program in the storage device. For example, the inventor can configure a memory (memory) conforming to the USB MSC specification in the modem to store the required driver program. On the whole, a plug-and-play modem can include two parts: a standard storage device and a main function device. The main function device is used to realize all the functions of the modem, and the storage device stores the drivers required by the main function device program.

[0022] Please refer to figure 1 , which shows a flowchart of ...

Embodiment 2

[0024] Please refer to figure 2 , which shows a flowchart of a method for installing a driver of a plug-and-play device according to Embodiment 2 of the present invention. After the modem is connected to the host terminal, a standard storage device can be connected to the host terminal (step 210). Since the modem driver has been recorded in the storage device and the storage device is a standard specification, the host can use the standard storage device driver to read and copy the modem driver in the storage device (step 220). After the main control end has copied the driver program, the modem is about to connect the main functional device to the main control end (step 230), and then the main control end loads the copied modem driver program to complete the installation procedure of the modem (step 240).

[0025] Then please refer to image 3 , which shows the processing procedure of the present invention between connecting the storage device and connecting the modem. As ...

Abstract

The plug-and-play device includes main functional unit as well as memory in standard size and with the drive program essential for the main functional unit stored. After the plug-and-play device is installed in the main control end, the main functional unit and the memory are connected to the main control end via one of two different modes. In the first mode, the main functional unit and the memory are connected to the main control end simultaneously and the standard drive program for the memory in the main control end is first loaded before the drive program for the main functional unit is loaded from the memory. In the second mode, the memory is first connected to the main control end, the main control end copies the drive program for the main functional unit from the memory to the main control end memory before connecting the main functional unit, loading the copied drive program for the main functional unit and accessing the main functional unit.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for installing a driver, and in particular to a method for installing a driver for a plug-and-play device. Background technique [0002] With the rapid development of the computer industry in recent years, in order to allow users to connect peripherals more easily, plug and play is very important. At present, almost all hardware (such as printers, scanners, modems, display cards, etc.) adopts a plug-and-play design. Since most peripherals are not standard devices that can be directly supported by the main control terminal, consumers are buying hardware. When the product is packaged, a driver program stored on a CD or disk will be attached to the product package for users to use when installing the hardware. During installation, the user must first let the host control end read the driver program stored in the CD, and then the installation program can be completed step by step. The process is very trivial. On the othe...
